Subject: [TUHS] Happy birthday, C.A.R. Hoare!
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 10:52:12 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.1901111039180.65590@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
[Not sure whether this is more appropriate for COFF instead, so it's
here; advice (apart from STFU) gratefully accepted.)
Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare FRS FREng was born on this day in 1934; a
computer pioneer (one of the greats) he gave us things like the quicksort
algorithm (which became qsort() in Unix) and ALGOLW (a neat language).
